#30. New York Giants – Eli is so tired of playing for this trash franchise. He can’t wait to leave this team in the offseason and go retire down in Florida, coming out every Sunday to play for the Jaguars.

#08. Atlanta Falcons – Shh….the offense is starting to find its groove. Their biggest problem will continue to be defensive playcalling when in the lead. Minnesota is the litmus test: they win Sunday, they’ll end up your #2 seed. Book it.

#07. New Orleans Saints – I’ve said for awhile that they have flaws that can easily be exploited both offensively and defensively. Kamara is GOING to put up yards on you, either on the ground or through the air: stop him on the ground.

#06. Carolina Panthers – Maybe Cam only plays well when he has jack squat for receiver.

Tier #1: Letting Greg Schiano scam you out of $20million even though he really didn’t even mean to scam you

#05. Los Angeles Rams – They’ve knocked off what will be a major player in the NFC race, but still got exposed up in Minnesota. If they get a home playoff game though, look out.

#04. Pittsburgh Steelers – That’s a game that should NOT have been as close as it was, however, they did find a way and that’s what matters.

#03. Philadelphia Eagles – This is a great team, but please don’t get caught up in the record hype. They’ll win 13 or 14 games though

#02. New England Patriots – There are three teams in the AFC that have a CHANCE against them: Jacksonville if Bortles is possessed by the ghost of prime Mark Brunnell, Baltimore if Flacco wakes up and Pittsburgh. Even with that, it would still take a great deal to knock them off. You HAVE to hit Brady.

#01. Minnesota Vikings – Case Keenum is playing like he did a fusion dance with 2004 Daunte Culpepper and it’s amazing to watch.
